The Busy Sunbeam
The sunbeam knocked on the snail’s front door.
‘Open!’ it cried, ‘for it’s spring once more!
Put out your horns and your little grey head,
And hurry away to the wallflower bed.’
Then the sunbeam went to a mossy stone,
For sleeping there was a toad alone.
It tickled his ribs with a warm little hand,
And sang, Wake up, for the sunshine’s grand!
Then went to the pond went the sunbeam bright ,
And called to the frogs that slept out of sight,
ome out of the mud, give your legs a shake,
For spring is here,and it’s time to awake!
It woke the squirrel,
it woke the bee, it found snakes in the hollow tree,
It tickled the dormouse- then it lay.
Warming my crocruses all the day!
